Well yesterday was pretty uneventful. I seem to be fighting a cold in the middle of June of all months so yesterday I woke up with a splitting headache and a nasty cough. The weather is nice up here but it seems that everyone retreats indoors when the weather gets in the upper 70’s and turns on the AC? The house was freezing yesterday. Maybe that’s why I am coming down with a cold. I thought these northerners were a hardy bunch. EEEK! It’s 77 outside.

My mom had a load of cedar bark dust delivered so she could cover al the dirt areas in between all the plants in the yard. They use a lot of it up here. It smells nice and helps keep the weeds down. So I helped shovel a bunch of it all over the front yard. For the rest of the day I zoned in front of the television. I felt kind of crappy so being a slug was all I felt like doing. I did make a REALLY good bowl of soup for dinner. I actually found an Asian market close to the house so I stocked up on dried noodles, spices, sauces and even bowls, chopsticks and those flat Asian soup spoons. There is a really good Pho restaurant right around the corner but I my soup is just as good if not better. They make really good spring rolls and salted lemonade so I will continue to eat there once or twice a week. Salted lemonade sounds nasty but it goes really well with spicy food. It’s real pulpy and just has a touch of salt. It’s not like you can chug a glass on a hot day and be refreshed but it does go good with spicy food.

Today I really have no plans. I still need to do real fun stuff like fold laundry and try to re-organize what has already been organized in hopes to make the piles smaller. I still need to put a lot of stuff on Craig’s list. Maybe I’ll do that now…..

That’s enough for now. Bye.
